Chapter 4: Beauty Covers Filth

UNLUCKY! She is just too unlucky in the morning! The school has so many students, why did she have to bump into someone from the Au Elites so early?

In the end, just after she took a bath in their house, she took another one in the school. However, this time, she was bathed with orange sticky juice and not water—which resulted in the students' ridiculing laughter.

Unfortunately, after she changed her uniform, her first class was already starting. She was late so her teacher didn't let her enter anymore. Because of that, she missed her first class.

The young lady sighed exasperatedly as she put her backpack in front and then hugged it with a frowning expression.

Why did she have to be such a weakling?

Right now, she is currently at the rooftop, again, while sitting on the ground without minding the dirt anymore. She is pondering and letting herself get lost in her own thoughts.

"What's with that early grumpy face?"

The young lady almost jumped in shock after hearing the same familiar voice of the mysterious guy who was with her a few days ago before he suddenly disappeared.

Should she tell him? Or should she not? She was hesitant. What if this guy was just someone sent from the Au Elites to spy on her so that they could make her miserable school life even worse?

"You don't have to tell me if you're that doubtful. I don't care," the guy said in a defensive tone before he suddenly used her lap again as his pillow.

She didn't even notice that her bag was already gone on her thighs while the hands that were hugging the bag were already covering the eyes of the mysterious guy—blocking them against the sunray.

Like their first meeting, it felt as if she didn't know things again. It was like she had no consciousness about the things that the mysterious guy does and only discovered it whenever it was already done. However, this time, there is no jacket to at least separate the dirt from the ground to their uniforms.

Speaking of the jacket, she was still hesitating whether she should give back Liev's jacket or keep it with her forever. She wanted to keep it as a souvenir since she knew how far that star was from the land where she is currently at. There would be no chance for that thing to happen again so she is really contemplating hard.

Well, it wouldn't kill her if she said something to the mysterious guy, right?

No one is allowed to kill in their school so the mysterious guy wouldn't definitely kill her although they are alone right now. Though maybe, the guy would laugh at her for being pathetic and weak. Looking at the good side, she guessed this would still have a positive outcome. At least she would take off some load in her heart by telling it to others, right?

"Uhm... How can I start this?" Crostelia scratched her head awkwardly. Then, she cleared her throat before lowering her gaze.

"It's just annoying that I'm so weak. It's irritating to always be the weakest one. You know, ever since I studied in this school, I have become the bullies' apple of the eye and it just... Sucks. I hate it. I'm an enchanter but I can only chant weak healing spells that most of the time take all of my strength and consciousness. For an enchanter, I'm so weak. You know that enchanters were supposed to be strong, right?" the young lady said while her eyes are still focused on the ground.

After that, silence dominated their place and the girl's eyes started to wander—reason why she had the chance to intently stare at the black pair of eyes of the mysterious guy and the white hair strands that reached his thick, black eyebrows that are slowly coming out of the black cloth that is covering most of his body.
